Welcome to my mountain state of mind.
Everything’s personal — from the peaks to the posts.

Boots & Banter

Boots get me to the summit. Banter gets me through the existential crisis halfway there.
This is a solo hiker’s journal of motion, madness, and meaning — mostly in that order.

You don’t have to wait for someone to hike with. I didn’t — and I’ve been chasing freedom, facing fears, and eating sandwiches alone on summits ever since.

Behind the Banter

This is what hiking solo — and laughing at your own blisters — really looks like.

Welcome to Boots & Banter — my hiking home on the internet. I’m a solo female hiker sharing the ups, downs, sideways rain, and slightly feral joy that comes with chasing summits alone.

If you’ve ever thought “maybe I could hike that solo…” — this space is for you. Expect stories, humour, gear chaos, and a trail of crumbs leading to confidence, one hike at a time.
